This climb begins at the same location as the Fang and stays on the left side of the "fang" to the first of four bolts before meandering right. The rock quality improves after the first two bolts and the crux, which is solid at 11d, is on good rock. One or maybe two out of five stars.

Murf, perhaps you are thinking of the route Bridwell - Sustad which is further right and 11a?

The first bolt is a sketchy star dryvin. The rock from the ground to the roof move is pretty bad. Make the funky, powerful roof move, and traverse up and right to the next bolt, then further right to the third bolt. The crux moved get you to the first horizontal. After multiple failed attempts trying to figure out a way to climb directly up to the horizontal from the bolt, I found a more reasonable set of moves trending a bit right and up. From the horizontal, the climbing eases significantly. Though I hangdogged up this thing on TR, I find it hard to believe it's easier than 11d. The B-S route (aka "Route 499" ?) on the other hand is far better quality and significantly easier.
